Design educators and graduate students—join your colleagues in the
13th annual UCDA Design Education Summit: Good Design Works. This
national summit for design educators, chairs, and students, continues
an ongoing community created specifically for graphic design educators
with many opportunities for professional participation and
development. Good Design Works seeks to spotlight all aspects of
purpose-driven graphic and interactive design that are having an
influential, positive impact on the world. The ability of the designer
to create meaningful social change through visual communications that
celebrate, criticize, educate, or advocate—begins in the classroom.
Abstracts that focus on social-cause issues (including, but not
limited to social justice, culture, environment, politics,
humanitarian, non-profits, etc.) integrated into classroom strategies,
student and professional projects, design methodologies, special
programs, and more will be considered. Included in the summit are
general session speakers, panel discussions, workshops, and paper and
poster presentations selected from abstracts submitted through a peer
reviewed process. UCDA is famous for providing professional
development in a relaxed atmosphere. The faculty will share ideas and
welcome your participation in an ongoing dialogue about the critical
issues facing the design education community. This two and a half day
summit, followed by a day of optional workshops, is open to UCDA
members and non-members, design educators and practitioners, and
students. The McDonough Museum of Art, on the campus of Youngstown
State University, is at the center of the UCDA Design Summit activity
by offering space for the keynote speaker(s), presentation space,
exhibition space, and more. Over the course of the summit, the
McDonough Museum of Art will be home to the keynote presentation(s),
UCDA academic poster exhibition running through the entire summer,
Good Design Works: City of You exhibition, and the DesignEdu.Today
live podcast recording sessions with Gary Rozanc. Courtney of the
McDonough Museum of Art, academics with accepted poster abstracts will
receive one free copy of their poster to take home.
